The Ents make a move

[David Humphries]

I was deadwooding some Cedars today and I noticed this little Rhus Typhina trying to go somewhere....

 

Making for the sun by the looks of it

with a little help from a previous caring owner this old oak is lowering its time weary arms and perpetuating its annual battle to flush & flourish

There is a row of about 8 that was an old hedge bank, and this one is probably the best.

That brick prop in front is looking rather teetery, and that column (what does lonsdale call these; vascular pathways?) separating from stem. Maybe time for a little backup, if it could flop into the yard?

 

Here'd one that started walking a long time ago, and now that its foot has sunk roots, it's shedding the leg! Seen elsewhere on q virginiana, and conifers as well, after the phoenixes can go it alone.

 

The sign needs an update; now 87'9" tall, 154' avg crown spread, 31'2" girth. Us yanks are big on size, but we respect age as well.

 

Last pic braided reaction wood, as the limb hangs on for all it's worth.

Trees sure are the cleverest of woody stems!
